Location: Minnesota. | Just got back from a couple weeks on the V. Tough fishing with temps in the 90's throughout our stay.
Fished all over and took 2 fish (40" and 44") on the rocks and one 45 "er in the weeds ...or THE weed :-))

Sorry, haven't figured out to post a pic yet.
Not too bad but I danged sure worked for them. All on AHL topwater Redwing Blackbird (thanks Mick) http://www.musky-lures.com/mini.html - a fav. bait as of this year...
Walleye nailed a muskie spinnerbait but was a bit big to keep and we managed a few keeper-sized pike for fresh fish sandwiches.
I think I lost 5 pounds with all the chuckin' but it was well worth it.

Location: MN | We're up here now till tomorrow. Will agree fishing has been tough. Very short windows then long hours of nothing. And to top it off starting Fri aft it's been a frickin zoo. Jockey for position constantly is no fun, but a fact of life here on the weekends. |

| was just up there 7/14-21. we were by wakemup bay. very tough going with the hot conditions and the high lake temps. no luck. saw five or six total all week and had a 45-50 incher next to the boat on friday the 20th.
what time of the year would you suggest going up to Vermilion that's the best? |
